I love all these snide mentions of the ELITES by INDY. I find it especially hilarious because many of the people he'd brand as the ELITES (for better or worse I'm surrounded by them) are people who followed what conservatives say they support: they worked their butts off, tirelessly, to get to where they are in life and achieved things because they were smart but more importantly because they were driven to succeed and make something of themselves. But as soon as they went to those bastions of evil we call elite colleges, well then, it was all over, they were the librul elites who should be shunned. Interestingly enough it is also precisely this group that takes care of itself and is entirely financially self-sufficient (another thing that conservatives yammer on about constantly), but they've somehow become everything that is wrong with the country and the world.

Instead, ignorance of the world at large often disguised as "folksiness" is celebrated as something to aspire to.
